Cello

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, who am I? And if not now, when?"

―Ancient philosopher from a world similar to Alderaan

History

[17 BBY]

At age 13, Cello received as a gift several texts describing galactic history, and was intrigued by the different Force philosophies. He devoured knowledge on the topic, with a voracious zest that would come to become his trademark. His parents noted his Force potential over the next few years - perhaps this was a reason for the gift.... Reading Holonet histories of the various battles from the Jedi point of view, Cello could not help but wonder whether they seemed arrogant and dogmatic regarding their view of the Force. During a vacation trip on the rapids of an Alderaan river, a spill lead to a seemingly minor head injury. However, strangely his Force potential began to be realized exponentially faster afterwards.

[18 BBY]

While traveling to Coruscant for a young leaders conference, his ship was boarded by a party led by Juidicials who were clearly Force adept, whose names he does not know. They seemed wary of him for some reason without being overtly rude. As his Force potential continued to be realized at home, he found supportive parents who encouraged my studies.

Dark Brotherhood Years

Cello joined the House Caliburnus of The Clan Scholae Palatinae after a chance encounter with Robin Hawk in the year 27 ABY.

Other Notes

The idea of embracing all aspects of the Force is appealing to Cello. He is an extremely open-minded individual who walks his own path. He has a remarkable ability to instantly center himself well under pressure. When younger, he feared heights, this is no longer true. He joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood when recruited because he recognized it to be an effective way to ensure that all sides of the Force are explored. In addition, he joined to learn more about himself and how all facets of his being might be brought to their fullest potential.
